Pray for a Preacher (1 Timothy 2:1-7)

In this episode of Tough Texts, Dan Price and Scott Keith wrestle with 1 Timothy 2:1–7, exploring Paul's command to pray for all people—including rulers, enemies, and those we'd rather avoid. They tackle the tension between God's desire for all people to be saved and the reality that not all come to faith, rejecting easy theological shortcuts while emphasizing God's use of preaching as the means by which He saves. Along the way, the conversation highlights a distinctly Lutheran willingness to let difficult biblical tensions stand while keeping Christ crucified at the center of Scripture and theology.
